Resetting the Wearable Terminal

There are two types of resets, warm boot and cold boot. A warm boot restarts the wearable terminal by closing all running programs.

A cold boot also restarts the wearable terminal, but erases all stored records and entries in RAM. Data saved in flash memory or a memory card is not lost. In addition it returns formats, preferences and other settings to the factory default settings.

Perform a warm boot first. This restarts the wearable terminal and saves all stored records and entries. If the wearable terminal still does not respond, perform a cold boot.

Performing a Warm Boot

Hold down the Power button for approximately five seconds. As soon as the wearable terminal starts to perform a warm boot release the Power button.

Data Capture

Wearable terminals used with an optional wearable laser scanner allow collection of data by scanning one dimensional bar codes.

Laser Scanning

Wearable terminals with an optional wearable laser scanner have the following features:

•

Reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, and 1-D code types.

•

Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

Scanning Considerations

Typically, scanning is a simple matter of aim, scan/decode and a few quick trial efforts master it. However, two important considerations can be used to optimize any scanning performance:

•

Range

Using the Wearable Terminal 2 - 19

Any scanning device decodes well over a particular working range — minimum and maximum distances from the bar code. This range varies according to bar code density and scanning device optics.

Scanning within range brings quick and constant decodes; scanning too close or too far away prevents decodes. Move the scanner closer and further away to find the right working range for the bar codes being scanned. However, the situation is complicated by the availability of various integrated scanning modules. The best way to specify the appropriate working range per bar code density is through a chart called a decode zone for each scan module. A decode zone simply plots working range as a function of minimum element widths of bar code symbols.

•

Angle

Scanning angle is important for promoting quick decodes. When laser beams reflect directly back into the scanner from the bar code, this specular reflection can “blind” the scanner.

To avoid this, scan the bar code so that the beam does not bounce directly back. But don’t scan at too sharp an angle; the scanner needs to collect scattered reflections from the scan to make a successful decode. Practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

NOTE Contact the Zebra Support Center if chronic scanning difficulties develop. Decoding of properly printed bar

codes should be quick and effortless.

Scanning Bar Codes

1. Ensure that a scan enabled application is loaded on the wearable terminal.

2. Aim the scan exit window at the bar code.

3. Press the trigger.

•

Ensure the red scan beam covers the entire bar code. The red scan LED lights to indicate that the laser is on. The green scan LED lights. An audible beep might sound, if the application determines, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.

2 - 20 WT4070/90 Wearable Terminal User Guide

Figure 2-17

4. Release the trigger.

Laser Scanner Aiming Pattern

Scanning Tips

Optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density and scanner optics.

•

Hold the scanner farther away for larger symbols.

•

Move the scanner closer for symbols with bars that are close together.

NOTE Scanning procedures depend on the application and wearable terminal configuration. An application may

use different scanning procedures from the one listed above.

Scan LED Indicator

The LED on the scanner provides a visual indication of the scan status.

Table 2-9

Off Not scanning.

Solid Red Laser enabled, scanning in process.

LED Status Indication

Solid Green Successful decode.

Imaging

The wearable terminal with an optional RS507 imager has the following features:

•

Omnidirectional (360°) reading of a variety of bar code symbologies, including the most popular linear, postal, PDF417, and 2D matrix code types.

•

The ability to capture and download images to a host for a variety of imaging applications.

•

Advanced intuitive laser aiming for easy point-and-shoot operation.

The imager uses digital camera technology to take a digital picture of a bar code, stores the resulting image in its memory, and executes state-of-the-art software decoding algorithms to extract the data from the image.

Operational Modes

The wearable terminal with optional RS507 imager supports three modes of operation, listed below. Activate each mode pressing the Scan button.

•

Decode Mode: In this mode, the RS507 attempts to locate and decode enabled bar codes within its field of

view. The imager remains in this mode as long as you hold the scan button, or until it decodes a bar code.

NOTE To enable Pick List Mode, download the Control Panel applet from the Support Central web site at

http://www.

•

Pick List Mode: This mode allows you to selectively decode a bar code when more than one bar code is in

zebra.com/support. Pick List can also be set in an application using a API command.

the RS507’s field of view. To accomplish this, move the aiming crosshair center dot over the required bar code to decode only that bar code. This feature is ideal for pick lists containing multiple bar codes and manufacturing or transport labels containing more than one bar code type (either 1D or 2D).

•

Image Capture Mode: Use this mode to capture an image within the RS507’s field of view. This is useful for

capturing signatures or images of items like damaged boxes.

Imager Scanning

1. Ensure that a scan-enabled application is loaded on the wearable terminal.

2. Press and hold the scan button.

The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming. Ensure the cross-hair is on top of the bar code.

The Decode LED lights red to indicate that scanning is in process, then lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully. Note that when the RS507 is in Pick List Mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair center dot touches the bar code.

Freezer Pouch

NOTE Wearable computers with standard capacity batteries must use the Standard Capacity Battery Freezer Pouch

while wearable computers with extended capacity batteries must use the Extended Capacity Battery Freezer Pouch. See Accessories on page 1-3 for more information.

CAUTION Do not use the wearable terminal with touch screen in the freezer pouch or in environments that are

below -20°C (-4°F).

The freezer pouch allows the user to use the wearable terminal in a freezer environment on the hip or wrist for use in voice picking applications. An RS309 or RS409 scanner with an extended cable is required when mounting the freezer pouch on the hip mount, if scanning is also part of the application.

In order to keep the wearable terminal at a safe operating temperature in a meat or ice cream freezer, the freezer pouch insulates the wearable terminal to keep the heat generated by the wearable terminal within the pouch. The pouch is not heated. There are no batteries to worry about or electronics within the pouch.

The freezer pouch can be either hip-mounted or wrist-mounted. For hip-mounting, there is a belt loop on its back for attached a belt (sold separately). For wrist-mounting, customers can buy either a set of standard-length or longer-length wrist straps and use them with the pouch. The longer-length wrist straps are recommended for wrist-mounting over coats. The freezer pouch has openings on each side for wearable scanners and headset adapters.

While the freezer pouch is designed to allow workers to use the wearable terminal in meat and ice cream freezers, there are some very important limitations to follow:

•

Do not use in environments that are below -30°C (-22°F).

•

Do not allow the wearable terminal (with or without the freezer pouch) to remain in the suspend mode in environments below -20°C (-4°F) for more than 10 minutes. This prevents the wearable terminal from cooling down to the ambient freezer temperature. The pouch maintains the wearable terminal at a sufficient temperature while it is in use, but lengthy periods of inactivity bring the wearable terminal below its operating temperature.

•

Do not store wearable terminals in the meat or ice cream freezer. As explained above, this would allow the wearable terminals to chill to the ambient freezer temperature, which is below their operating temperature. Furthermore, if batteries were left in wearable terminals stored in the freezer, the batteries themselves could freeze, which could damage them. At the least, they would not function while frozen.

•

Batteries cannot be charged below 0°C (32°F). Zebra cradles and battery chargers have an automatic shut-off to insure this.

•

If using wearable scanners with the wearable terminal in the meat or ice cream freezer for a shift, remember that the RS309 freezer configuration is the correct scanner to choose, due to its lower operating temperature range and its desiccant pack to remove condensation.

Slide the wearable terminal into the freezer pouch.

Glossary

API. An interface by means of which one software component communicates with or controls another. Usually used to refer

to services provided by one software component to another, usually via software interrupts or function calls

Application Programming Interface. See API.

ANSI Terminal. A display terminal that follows commands in the ANSI standard terminal language. For example, it uses

escape sequences to control the cursor, clear the screen and set colors. Communications programs support the ANSI terminal mode and often default to this terminal emulation for dial-up connections to online services.

ASCII. American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A 7 bit-plus-parity code representing 128 letters, numerals,

punctuation marks and control characters. It is a standard data transmission code in the U.S.

Bar. The dark element in a printed bar code symbol.

Bar Code. A pattern of variable-width bars and spaces which represents numeric or alphanumeric data in machine-readable

form. The general format of a bar code symbol consists of a leading margin, start character, data or message character, check character (if any), stop character, and trailing margin. Within this framework, each recognizable symbology uses its own unique format. See Symbology.

Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data.

The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

Bits per Second (bps). Bits transmitted or received.

Bit. Binary digit. One bit is the basic unit of binary information. Generally, eight consecutive bits compose one byte of data.

The pattern of 0 and 1 values within the byte determines its meaning.

bps. See Bits Per Second.

Glossary - 2 WT4090 Wearable Terminal User Guide

Byte. On an addressable boundary, eight adjacent binary digits (0 and 1) combined in a pattern to represent a specific

character or numeric value. Bits are numbered from the right, 0 through 7, with bit 0 the low-order bit. One byte in memory is used to store one ASCII character.

boot or boot-up. The process a computer goes through when it starts. During boot-up, the computer can run self-diagnostic

tests and configure hardware and software.

CDRH. Center for Devices and Radiological Health. A federal agency responsible for regulating laser product safety. This

agency specifies various laser operation classes based on power output during operation.

CDRH Class 1. This is the lowest power CDRH laser classification. This class is considered intrinsically safe, even if all laser

output were directed into the eye's pupil. There are no special operating procedures for this class.

CDRH Class 2. No additional software mechanisms are needed to conform to this limit. Laser operation in this class poses

no danger for unintentional direct human exposure.

Character. A pattern of bars and spaces which either directly represents data or indicates a control function, such as a

number, letter, punctuation mark, or communications control contained in a message.

Codabar. A discrete self-checking code with a character set consisting of digits 0 to 9 and six additional characters: (-$:/,+).

Code 128. A high density symbology which allows the controller to encode all 128 ASCII characters without adding extra

symbol elements.

Code 3 of 9 (Code 39). A versatile and widely used alphanumeric bar code symbology with a set of 43 character types,

including all uppercase letters, numerals from 0 to 9 and 7 special characters (space, minus (-), plus (+), period (.), dollar sign ($), slash (/), and percent (%)). The code name is derived from the fact that 3 of 9 elements representing a character are wide, while the remaining 6 are narrow.

Code 93. An industrial symbology compatible with Code 39 but offering a full character ASCII set and a higher coding

density than Code 39.

Cold Boot. A cold boot restarts the wearable terminal and erases all user stored records and entries.

COM port. Communication port; ports are identified by number, e.g., COM1, COM2.

Cradle. A cradle is used for charging the terminal battery and for communicating with a host computer, and provides a

storage place for the terminal when not in use.

DCP. See Device Configuration Package.

Decode. To recognize a bar code symbology (e.g., UPC/EAN) and then analyze the content of the specific bar code

scanned.
